    Why not add something like:

    Strip # Name Addressee
    1030 [Various: see comic] Durkon

    Porthos: Thread name isn't "Funny nicknames from Belkar" either :p

    How about:


    Strip # Name Addressee
    1030 [Various: see comic]* Durkon

    *Several of these were contributed by Belkar, but it is not possible to discern which came from him.

    Sounds good to me. Also, "High Priest of Hel" could be switched for "Durkon*" in previous lines.


    ChristianSt does not seem to be found of this inclusion though.

    I find the "*not really Durkon" fun because I read it as "*non contractual picture".

    But otherwise, I have no strong opinion one way or the other.

    Possibly, but Durkon*
    *Not really Durkon

    Is way funnier

    Also I opened the comic again to see if there is any way to determine who says what based on speech bubbles and gave up on that pretty quickly. Sense I would get something like.
    Haley:Count Durkula, Jerkon, Undurkon
    Possibly Belkar or Haley: Nega_Dwarf, Leechy Veinquaff
    Belkar: The Creature Preature
    possibly Belkar or Elan: Durkzzaro, deep fang Friar, Nokrud.
    Elan: The Thorsaken
    Elan, blackwing or V: Pastor Expeiration
    Blackwing: Whiskers in the Dark
    V or Blackwing: Norse-fur-atu
    V: Hel's Shell, The corpse formerly known as Durkon, Greg

    Some specific ones on the edge probably could switch categories easily.
    I also made the assumption that the closest bubble was guaranteed to be from that person.

    Also more importantly! I think in the last panel it is obviously Elan that says Durkon Classic, highly likely that Belkar says Original Recipe Durkon, and then less sure on Durkon(First Edition) but probably Haley.
    Thoughts on this? Reasons I am wrong?

    This thread isn't the "Funny Nicknames From Members of the Order of the Stick Thread", as nice of a thread as that might be. As such listing them in a separate bit or adding them in any way is outside the scope of this thread, IMO.

    Are they funny? Sure. Are they nicknames? Undoubtedly. Do we have any way whatsoever of telling which are from Belkar and which aren't? Not really, IMO. Sure there are some that are much more likely than not. But that's not a high enough bar, IMO.
    I think leaving out a bunch of spontaneous nicknames from Belkar in a thread dedicated to that because we aren't sure which ones are from Belkar and which aren't is actually going against the thread more then including them would be. One is specifically ignoring nicknames from Belkar, the other is adding nicknames from Belkar with the stipulation of we aren't 100% sure which are from Belkar.

    Addressee should just be "not-durkon". No need for an asterisk *


    *: Unless you want a footnote or something (1)

    (1): Not a very good footnote, is it?
    Not "fire at". I never used the word "at"

    "a homophone", from 1043

    I wonder if he called him other names off-panel...

    It's not a nickname. The cook just explained to Belkar that it's not that kind of steaks that are useful against vampires. It's stakes. It's a homophone.
    Considering the holy wafers, I can see the confusion.

    "The chick with the bandana" could be considered though. But I'm not a big fan of this inclusion. More a description than a nickname.

    He's using it as a nickname, because he doesn't know what it actually means. So it fits IMO.

    How a nickname?
    If you say "it's an oxymoron" and I answer "no, you're a moron", are you going to say that "moron" is used a nickname?

    Like 50% of the stuff in the approved list (being generous) aren't nicknames anyway.

    This is inaccurate - Durkon is no longer the High Priest of Hel.

    I missed Belkar.

    Sooo, can we include "a scaled up bunch of smurfs, only with more chicks!" about those Frost Giants?

    Also "Ears" again for V. Maybe "the elf".

    In #848, does Belka calling himself a 'hobbit fajita' count? In the same speech bubble as 'Miss I-Dodged-Two-Balls-Of-Acid-In-A-Row'.

    It has been a while, but OP is updated - only things I didn't add (unless I missed something else - then feel free to point it out) is 956's "all-you-can-drink buffet" and 1043's "a homophone" mostly because I think it is unclear who it addresses (for the former I guess it would be more the passengers of the Mechane as a whole and not specifically Roy, Eland & Haley, and for the latter I don't really want to say "random chief" or something along the lines).

    Don't think "big purple temple" should count, since the place didn't have an formal name. He had to call it something.

    From 1110:

    Durkula -- Count Clownshoes
    Hilgya -- Dwarf Mom

    And since you seem to be doing sponateous names of non-beings too

    Greater Scrying -- Greater Peepin'

    Maybe add

    Does "Cat's Disgrace" from #1116 count? If so, what exactly is Belkar nicknaming?
